icarus | (no subject)

Hooray!

SNAFU is now listed under Beg Me For It on RS.org, and Stand In The Ruins has been sent in to them, as well as chapters 2-5 of Reunion.

Now I have to outline Reunion. Because it seems I have a WiP going. Whoops, how did that happen? I make no promises as to how long it takes me to update this story.

Life has finally levelled out a bit. No new word on

wildernessguru's mom, but it's all good on that end. Now doing the school-schedule do-see-do. I'm trying to study my favourite subject (cue scary organ music and voice frosted with sarcasm): math.

But

goseaward and

sharp_tongue explained over the weekend that Algebra is the logic of describing lines, while Calculus is the logic of describing curves. Which, finally, at long last someone has given me a point to all this stuff! I may suck at it. My eyes may glaze over like someone's describing a really boring dream when someone fires numbers at me. But there is, in fact, a point to this stuff.

(Trig always made sense to me. I used it for my surveying class, and I used it to hand-calculate my astrology charts -- and you're not a real astrologer until you've calculated at least one chart by hand).

. . . What on earth did you think it was for?

Trig (like geometry) uses an entirely different part of your brain or mode of thinking than calculus does. Good luck.

Thanks for the update on BMFI. I'd been meaning to ask: the entire series isn't complete yet, is it? When it is, I want to write a lengthy review of it for my lj. But my sense was that you were still going to put in some more material that goes between the current drafts of "Stand in the Ruins" and "Scarred." Is that right? If so, I'll wait for it to be finished.

Glad to hear that things are more on track for you these days, too.
